A vibrant community garden can do more than just grow food—it can bring people together. The Giving Garden is a shared green space that encourages healthy eating while fostering a strong sense of community.

By providing fresh produce and a place for people to connect and learn, The Giving Garden helps build a more sustainable and united community.

The Smart Start version of this idea is to build a small community garden on school campus and for the students to write letters to farmers to get to know them and show appreciation.  The plan is to then have some of those farmers come in and talk at their schools to share/spread the appreciation.
